The Mediterranean is warming, and scientists suggest the recent freak weather events in Sicily could be attributed to rising sea temperatures linked to climate change.
According to the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, downbursts are powerful winds that descend from thunderstorms, contributing to unpredictable weather patterns.
Roberto Danavaro notes, "Occurrences of tornadoes or Mediterranean hurricanes have been increasing in frequency over the last 10 to 15 years due to rising temperatures."
Warming waters have reached 30C, increasing the likelihood of exceptional weather events occurring, especially in the key sailing months of September and October.
